SWITZERLAND: Moevenpick and Nestlé deny takeover reports

Swiss ice cream company Moevenpick and compatriot food giant Nestlé said today [Monday] that they are in talks regarding an ice cream licensing pact in Germany and dismissed media reports that Nestlé was to take over Moevenpick's ice cream operations.
